What you need to know
- We are a mask-recommended university. Face coverings over the nose and mouth are recommended in all campus buildings.
- We need you to take care of yourself and stay mindful of the symptoms of COVID-19. The symptoms include fever or chills, loss of taste or smell, nausea, and a sore throat. For convenience, we provided a self-assessment checklist.
- If you tested positive for COVID-19, have been exposed to COVID-19, or have other respiratory-illness-related symptoms, we ask you to fill out this form. This information will help us keep others safe.
- If you have been ill and are ready to return to work on campus, we need you to complete our Return to Work after Illness or Exposure Form.
- As announced on August 30, 2021, COVID-19 vaccination is required for UVU students starting spring semester 2022. Read the full statement here.
More on face coverings
All employees and students of the university are recommended to wear a face covering while on campus. You do not need to wear a mask if you are in an office or area alone. There are several locations where you can pick up a free mask if needed:

Vaccine and Testing Resources
In an ongoing effort to ensure spring 2022 is healthy, safe, and successful, free COVID-19 testing and vaccination continue. The tests provided are non-invasive and offer rapid results — however, they are not a PCA test that is often needed for travel or medical procedures. Moderna, Pfizer, and J&J vaccines are available to all students, faculty, and staff (and their immediate family). Booster vaccines are also available. No proof is required.
